Robin Goodfellow

That is really really awesome, Dan. And isn't Robin Goodfellow also The Puck from Shakespear's a Midsummer Night's Dream? I'm pretty sure he is...that being my favorite play ever and The Puck being my favorite shakespear character. I think I remember reading this big background story about how Shakespear used the mythology surrounding Robin Goodfellow to make The Puck.

And I like both versions...the darker one sets a better mood for the character though, in my opinion.

I have a question: What do you use to draw your pictures befor scanning them? I'm guessing a pen, but what kind of pen? And what kind of paper? Is it the normal white computer paper, or do you use a thicker kind?

Edit: And I think a GT comic strip is briliant.

Yup, Puck is a Robin Goodfellow.

I sadly haven't read A Midsummer's Night Dream but I did read up on Puck's history.

I have to do a series of four related pictures for my digital coloring class so think I'm gonna do three more pics of mythology creatures modernized.

I use Bristol paper or any other thick paper made for ink. It's white, smooth, and heavy...just how I like my women... I use Micron pens. Mostly the size 01 ones which has a .25 mm line width. So even the really think lines are done with the small pen.
